| The Basics: Author: WWF URL:http://www.panda.org/how_you_can_help/at_home/index.cfm Date: Last modified November 26, 2007. Notes: At a Glance: This list offers suggestions for helping the environment in three areas: in your home, out shopping, and in the garden. Of these, the gardening tips are the most extensive, though the shopping and home tips are valuable. Home tips include disposal suggestions and turning off electronics when not in use. Shopping tips include buying local produce, items with little packaging, and biodegradable cleaning products. Gardening tips include using organic compost, eliminating chemical pesticides, and using collected rainwater to water plants. Best for: The list is ideal for everyone interested in making substantial changes to their daily behaviors. The suggestions are generally easy to implement, which makes them well-suited for a wide range of people. Gardeners may find the resource particularly useful. Standout Features: The most noticeable feature of the WWF list is the sheer number of suggestions it offers. The gardening tips, in particular, include both general and specific suggestions for creating and maintaining an environmentally friendly garden. Keep in Mind: WWF, formerly known as the World Wildlife Fund, is a global conservation organization headquartered in Switzerland. Its goal is halting and reversing the destruction of the environment. WWF has many autonomous offices throughout the world that raise funds and work on autonomous projects. In order to provide a level of transparency, the website discloses financial summaries and detailed annual reports. Suggested by: rcasper |
